13 years

micah woke up yesterday with the flu...he threw up all day long and into the night. as i lay in bed last night, matt reading a book, i couldn't believe that this is what life looks like right now. it's taking care of little kids who are sick. little kids that we have made together.

you know, i really can believe that it's been 13 years...because a lot has happened in 13 years....3 degrees, an international move, 4 babies, multiple job changes, 11 moves total, a house bought, late nights laughing, and late nights fighting it out, sick kids, silly kids, quiet dinners and loud dinners, irritations, and wicked joy....the baby i was in these pictures had no idea what kind of a ride i was in for...but i'm so thankful she didn't walk away. i wouldn't be the person i am today if i would have.

happy anniversary to us...13 years committed to one another.

we are best friends, each others biggest fan, a reminder to never stand still.

i am so thankful. so very thankful that i walked down that very long grassy isle into your loving hands. God sure knew what he was doing when he put this crazy pair together.

welcome!

You have landed yourself at the family blog of Lydia, Matt, Micah, Beatrix and Penelope. We found our way to south Florida 6 years ago already. The sun keeps us hot and the beach keeps us sane. My goal is to not become so busy that we miss out on the beautiful little things that make up our lives. Hope you enjoy your sneak peek.
